When it comes to shoes I am very picky: I like simplicity, quality and comfort and prefer to have a few pieces to choose from, but in summer it is not always easy. I walk a lot in Paris (27K steps a day) and there are no better shoes than sneakers to help me get through the day ...
IN LATE APRIL, Kendall Jenner stepped out in a pair of wide-legged pleated pants, a white t-shirt paired with an oversized crisp white shirt. It was head-to-toe The Row, and it was easily the chicest spring outfit this year. The epitome of casual elegance, it was both dressy and comfortable ...

Since this past month we’ve been in lockdown here in Paris and had an early curfew, I took the time at home to go through some of my favourite movies again and to discover some new ones. There are many films out there that offer perfect styling inspiration and I wanted to share a few of them here.
Creating your closet with the right investment pieces can save you money over time. Investment pieces may cost more upfront, but they will be more valuable in time as you will wear them over and over and still be timeless and in good condition.
As a child I remember often going to check out the packed racks of clothes at a local second-hand store with my mother. These trips were the starting point of my learning to appreciate good quality fabrics and cuts. Family members were often envious of my selections.
I am used to feeling worthy only when I am productive, when I work a lot, and for as long I can remember, since I changed my country for the first time, all I knew was work. I love working, have never said no to job calls, and I always measured my self-worth with the amount of work I am getting done. But for a while now things have been different; after living through the first year of a pandemic, there has been a carousel of emotions and states of mind, and the work side of things has definitely not been the same ...
Now that it's officially spring in the Northern Hemisphere, we're feeling to the urge to overhaul everything in the house, clean every last corner and re-organise. We're also feeling more drawn to a lighter, more natural colour palette at this time of year, and have gathered a few things on our shopping list ...
The white shirt was always a trend, a wardrobe staple―a piece of clothing that was simple but at the same time sophisticated, elegant, mysterious.
Seeing people dressed in trench coats on the streets inspires me, maybe more than other pieces of clothing, for my brain somehow always associates the silhouette with cinema scenes. There are a few great movies that showcase the classic trench and I’d like to share a few of my favourites.
This article started from an imaginary situation, in which I was wondering if I were to choose just French brands for clothing, what pieces I would buy and from what brands?
The past few days I’ve been enjoying a slower rhythm of life: some time with friends and the empty and rainy streets of Paris. I’ve also been particularly enjoying American author, Fran Lebowitz, in the series Pretend It's a City, biographical documentary created in collaboration with filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The series captivates―not only with her wit and way with words―but with the bond between her and Scorsese, talking and laughing together on the streets of New York. And I’ve also become very fond of her style and endlessly inspired by it, especially by her choice of her blazers.
EVEN AS WE SPEAK, there is talk here in the UK, that the three families from the same social bubble that are allowed to mix over what has become known as the five days of Christmas, is too risky.
These two weeks at work, I’ve been paying attention to what people are shopping for, for Christmas, and there is a certain common that is running through everyone's purchases: cosiness ...
I am often asked what kind of style I prefer when doing personal styling for men. And the truth is I don’t know. I could call it a mix of sporty and office, or what the French call habillé mais décontracté.
